An béal bocht sroichte cheana agam! Ní raibh súil liom gur chomh luath a thiocfadh sí dhom. Is cosúil nach raibh an díoltóir ina bhréagadóir nuair adúirt sé go raibh sí istigh aige. Is trua go rabhas róthuirseach Dé Domhnaigh agus ní raibh in ann ach beagáinín di a léamh. Níl cuimhne agam ar an leabhar a léas roimpi a bhain gáire mar seo asam.

Goidelic languages make my eyeballs hurt. I feel that I can kinda-sorta (very slowly, and with a lot of spit) parse out phonetic Welsh, but Irish? Forget it. Scottish gaelic is even worse.

My efforts to get you to view it as strangely-spelled Slavic have failed?

You made an effort? I thought that was just an idle comment ...

That's about as much effort as you get from me these days! (I did write that long two-part apologia for Irish spelling, however.)

And I don't think there's ANY excuse for Gàidhlig spelling.

Gàidhlig spelling is essentially identical to pre-reform Irish spelling, so--as I pointed out to [livejournal.com profile] puxill--the same apologia works for both. Have a gander.

I remember reading it: guess I'd better go back and read it again.

Does one eat a gander? Or is it always a goose?
